Jeremy Hall from Monkey House Racing

GHIT 0347: Jeremy Hall from Monkey House Racing

Over the past few years, we had met Jeremy at many events, but it was more in passing. Jeremy usually races with his team called Monkey House Racing, but for the Pittsburgh event he was racing with the Skunk Oil Racing team and our team in a 1999 BMW 3 series, an E36 for all the cool dudes. Unfortunately, the event did not go well with two incidents, one Saturday and another Sunday, both at turn 2 of PittRace. Jeremy was driving for the second event and the car may not be repairable. During the episode, we talk about the event, make several blatant attempts to draft Jeremy and his team onto ours. We think he is weakening. This episode was recorded several weeks ago just after our PittRace endurance race with the 24 Hours of Lemons series.

Highlights for this episode include:

1) We talk about the event at PittRace and Jeremy’s history in motorsports and instructing for a wide variety of organizations.

2) Jeremy’s philosophy for endurance racing and how it applies to being a successful team, as well as the difference in racing in the first hours versus the last few.

3) How endurance racing is a team event and how the team involves more than the group you are racing with in the same car.

4) What happened at PittRace when Jeremy was driving and what we all can learn from it.

5) Jeremy’s team plans for the rest of the season. Little did we know what would actually come to fruition.

6) We also go over what it was like for Jeremy at his first Lemons race.

The Tyler Stank

GHIT 0342: The Tyler Stank

After having better answers to several of our Dominating with Dawson’s, it was only appropriate that we invited him onto the podcast. We first met Tyler while iRacing and have since been paying attention as he has begun driving in the real world as well. His middle name really is Ayrton and there can be no better reason to have him on the podcast, but he is also notably the first person to drive each of the three versions of mini truck in the 24 Hours of Lemons endurance races. Stay tuned for several stories related to “driving” a car on iRacing with a French horn and other non-standard inputs. We also interrupt the episode with the first ever Dominating with Dawson with a guest judge Tyler to address the best modifications to make your car faster. Both Ben and Tyler get it wrong.

Late to Grid Podcast Host Bill Snow

GHIT 0339: Late to Grid Podcast Host Bill Snow

Our paths have crossed seemingly many times, but we have never met until now. The Late to Grid podcast is aimed at covering amateur racing and helping grow our sport. Since our podcast goals are almost identically aligned, we thought it would be great to have Bill on and share some stories and maybe we could learn from him some of his vast mechanical skills. We talk about all things racing, his home tracks of Mid O, PittRace, and Nelson Ledges. We also go into his podcast, how and why it started, and what he envisions for the future. Then we try to find out what led to his current RX7 racing and if it is potentially curable.

Highlights for this episode include:

1) We start out trying to find out how we have not met in person yet since we seem to go to the same tracks repeatedly. We then make plans to meet at a then upcoming event with NASA Great Lakes at Mid-Ohio, but car issue son our end prevented that from occurring.

2) We talk about Bill’s home track Nelson Ledges, PittRace, and Mid-Ohio for a bit and the first SCCA Enduro event that they held and we discussed in an earlier podcast with Jon Krolewicz from the SCCA (podcast # 331).

3) We also take advantage of his Mini experience and look for likely areas to work on with the ladies from Shifting Points podcast this summer.

Jess Stratton

From the Shifting Points podcast’s- Her First Track Day

GHIT 0338: Jess Stratton From the Shifting Points podcast’s First Track Day

We have an upcoming race at NJMP’s Thunderbolt track next weekend, so we took advantage of the NASA Northeast’s HPDE event this weekend to get a bit of track time for our friends from the Shifting Points podcast who will be racing with us. This will be Jess Stratton’s first ever race and today was her first ever track day and great preparation for the race. Vicki was going to explode if we made her wait any longer for a review of the day, so here is an unedited episode with Vicki and Jeremy asking Jess Stratton about her first time on track. Oh, Bill was there too.

Audra and Lisa will be arriving tonight for Sunday’s events. We will obviously be talking more about this weekend in upcoming episodes of our podcast and perhaps even on the Shifting Points podcast.

Dashes, Switches, and Control Panels

DwD 0337: Dashes, Switches, and Control Panels

Vicki has been hard at work upgrading our dashboard and controls in our Honda Civic race car. She also has a favorite past time at a track by looking into each car and trailer set up to see what others have done and ideas that would improve our cars (and trailers). We thought it might be a good thing to discuss our thoughts on control panels and provide a list of things that we like to see on a car and have found to be helpful in maintaining the car or preventing the car from having bigger issues. On this episode Ben was again joined by guest judge Jeremy, Vicki, and Bill.

If you would like to comment on a favorite gauge, switch, dash, etc. that we may have overlooked, please send it to us at [email protected] or on our Instagram @GarageHeroesInTraining.

Even better send in a photo of a favorite dashboard, or a least favorite dashboard you may have or “seen”, lol.
